"Darkthrone had a fairly prolific run from Sardonic Wrath up on through Dark Thrones and Black Flags last year. Now, this year, there’s no new Darkthrone release. What the hell, man?"
"Nah, actually in the ’00s we did one album every 1.5 years, and the new one now (CIRCLE THE WAGONS) comes exactly 1.5 years after the last one (DARK THRONES AND BLACK FLAGS) again, that being in February 2010. This enables us to start the new decade with HEAVY METAL."
